History of Geisha Culture
Geisha culture dates back to the Edo period, when they were known as geiko. The term “geisha” was first used in 1750 by a man named Norimoto Kajiya, who wrote about them in his book Kaitei Gusa (The Art of Entertainment). At that time, there were only men working as entertainers and artists; women weren’t allowed into this profession until 1748 when some women disguised themselves as men so they could become geisha themselves.
Today, most people associate geishas with traditional Japanese music and dance–but did you know that many modern-day geishas also study acting? And while most people think of them as simply beautiful ladies who wear elaborate costumes and makeup (which is true), there’s actually much more than meets the eye! Geishas are trained in all sorts of things like tea ceremony etiquette; flower arranging; calligraphy; origami folding techniques; shamisen playing (a Japanese traditional stringed instrument); koto playing (another type of traditional stringed instrument); singing traditional songs called enka ballads which often celebrate nature themes such as cherry blossoms blooming each springtime season…and much more!

How Make Up Helps Create the Illusion of Being Beautiful
Make up can be used to create illusions, to hide blemishes and flaws. It is often used on the eyelids, cheeks, lips and around the eyes. Make up helps draw attention to these areas of your face that are considered to be more attractive.
It’s important not to overdo it with make up though as this can look unnatural or even worse – like you’re trying too hard!
